Jim Hightower on Corporations

Let's remember that corporations are the most aggressively selfish elites in our society, and we should not be duped into thinking that running job-creation policy through them will benefit anyone but them.

And Democrats

The Democrats' real problem is not any one campaign but more than a decade of policy and political abandonment of rural communities.

Ken-Dogger: Hey Donner, you down?

Donner: I am, unsure why, just down right now.

KD: A lot of peeps are down now, voting consequences, you know.

D: I do know, it's a bummer. But you know, there's still silver linings out there and still a fight to make.

KD: I think peeps are still licking their wounds, they're not ready for the next steps.

D: Guess, I'll work on my down and build it to Up.

KD: Guess, we all should work on seeing the UP.

Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham is offering the incoming Trump administration 1,402 acres it purchased along the Texas-Mexico border to be used in a mass deportation operation.

In a letter to President-elect Donald Trump, Buckingham said she's offering the land "to be used to construct deportation facilities."

BUT WAIT, I THOUGHT TEXAS WAS ALREADY THE LAND OF DEPORTEES

The Manhattan DA agreed to postpone sentencing in Donald Trump’s criminal hush money case until after he leaves office in 2029.

I finally figures out my problem, I didn't get PRIVATE EQUITY funding early enough in my lifetime.

Private equity wants a taste of “the juice.” Blackstone announced yesterday that it’s buying a majority stake in Jersey Mike’s Subs, valuing the second-largest US sandwich chain—behind only Subway—at $8 billion. CEO Peter Cancro will stay on as the top exec as the chain aims to open 10,000 locations around the world.

Tariffs threaten bargain land
The retailer warned that tariffs promised by the President-elect Donald Trump (up to 100% on all Chinese goods and up to 20% for all other countries) might make its products less affordable, as the company would have to pass on some extra costs to customers.

TARIFFS WILL BE USED BY CAPITALIST TO GOUGE CUSTOMERS...It's their business model.

This dude, about to become again the most powerful leader in the formerly called free world, will only DOUBLE DOWN on all his cabinet picks.

He's flawless, he doesn't mistake...So, he will ride Gaetz to prove his individual power to other GOPers.

Back #45 into a corner every time, he knows nothing other than flailing his arms and screaming for his sycophants to rescue him.

From Froma Harrop

Forgive these suspicions that Trump takes some sadistic pleasure in exercising his power to get people to hurt themselves. But that's right up there in the malignant narcissist's playbook, and he is a textbook case.

Back to me and mine, we have every intention of ignoring the idiot who believes that Americans are being "unknowingly poisoned" by canola oil, corn oil and sunflower oil.
